band of brothers....the pacific

have you guys seen these two mini series? holy crap are they good. I love how the stories are fairly accurate and actually use some of the men who were portrayed in the series for commentary. I have always been a history buff,,,but what these men went through is nothing short of hell. I have immense respect for each and every one of them. if you haven't seen either,,check it out,,you will not regret it.

Hardly anyone knew about BoB when it first came out, probably due to the country's consciousness preoccupied by 9/11. Only years later when they aired re-runs did it gain more popularity.

Really? never noticed that. My buddy bought the dvd box set when it came out,and we spent a weekend in a blizzard watching it, all the way thru. Man, that living room must have reeked of scotch, beer and body odor, HAHA

I think HBO was saying it, they had much more interest in it years after it was initially released due to re-runs.

BoB was much better than The Pacific. I think they spent to much time with the soldiers 'on leave' in the Pacific. I didn't like the characters as much in it compared to BoB. I thought they could have gotten someone better to play Sledge than the kid from the first Jurassic Park. Music was great though.
